Here it is - Keepmark 1.28.0. The newest release is mainly focused around 2 features - document preview on the files list, and a new mechanism for previewing PDF documents. I have already mentioned both of them in earlier posts. On the attached screenshot you can see both of these functionalities. In addition, there are smaller changes that will make working with documents easier.

I’ve decided to finally solve the PDF preview problems. Until now I was using PDF.js, unfortunately due to poor performance of the WebView component its functioning was problematic (slow performance, application hangs out). In the newest version there will be a new mechanism for previewing PDFs - based on rendering individual PDF pages to images.

In the upcoming version I have started working on the preview of documents in the list. This is also one of the requests from app users, and an improvement that should make working with documents easier. The functionality is optionally enabled on the list of documents. In the case of images, you will be able to see their entire preview, and in the case of text documents - their first few lines.

Today I released Keepmark 1.27.0. Most of my work was focused on the new Markdown editor (which I’ve mentioned in previous posts). In this release the new editor hasn’t replaced the main note editor yet, but it has already appeared as a description editor in Tasks, and as a smaller component for adding descriptions to documents with inaccessible previews.

Work on the editor is not progressing as quickly as I expected - I have to solve a lot of unexpected problems. But the new editor is starting to appear - at first in less critical functionality - like the newly introduced feature - document description when no available preview.
